Silent Revolution Beta Battle 1 - The Middle (Wakaba from Utena)

This was made for the Silent Revolution Beta Battle Round 1. Basically it's a battle between editors to get into Silent Revolution studios (to do multi editor projects).

Music: The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
Fandom: Revolutionary Girl Utena
Focus: Wakaba angst

I've decided to use the lyrics ironically. Wakaba ends up "in the middle" no matter what tactics she tries to win Saionji's (obsessed with Anthy) heart...

THE MIDDLE
* * *
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything (everything) will be just fine
Everything (everything) will be alright (alright)

Umm...Where can we watch the whole AMV? And a suggestion-=for the lines "do your best" perhaps you could use the scenes from wakaba's happy montage in episode 20.

There is no whole AMV *bashful grin* since it's a beta battle limited to a small amount of time.

I have edited more of Wakaba to about half of this song though, and may keep going if I can find enuff Wakaba-material to make a whole song. Thanks for the scene suggestion, good idea. ^^

I really like this and it's great how you picked this song cause it atcually really suits wakaba XD

[sharnii]

Thank you! I agree it suits her, and I'm considering making one of Wakaba to the entire song. <.<

[sharnii]

Yeah as kutedoofiy said ;p

[sharnii]

Thanks for your comments! :)

Agree again re subs, but once again my beats are pretty much as intended. I'm changing either on the first beat of the 2/4 rock beat, or also more particularly on key words stressed in the song.

Like for example "head", "on" (looked down on), "selves", "can" (the tear dropping), "takes", "ev" (everything), "fine" (Utena's expression), "ev", "ev", "right" (alright), "right").

So in other words the cutting-timing is as intended. Unusual though maybe. ;p

aww one of my favourite songs! Should definetly crop your screens, subbies can be a bit distracting, and i think ur beats r off a bit, utube maybe? or glitches?

Overall i like it, I think u picked ur scenes good, Good Luck!
